Chapter 219: Federal Medal, You Deserve It

No one in the group dared to offend Director Jiang, and they all began the retest obediently.

He Jing finished eating two egg tarts, a Black Forest cake, and a strawberry mille-feuille from Gu Zheng's hand...

"Are you full?"

The forest cat rubbed his belly and sighed contentedly, "I'm full. This egg tart is so tender!"

"Well, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

"Okay~" He Jing narrowed his eyes and glanced at the people outside. He started to feel nervous again after just relaxing. "They..."

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. He He can use his mental power openly from now on. He no longer needs to worry or be afraid, and he won't have to draw blood."

Gu Zheng's voice was firm, and He Jing's heart slowly settled down. "That's... really good."

"Well, thank you He He for your hard work over the years."

This sentence was a bit sticky. He Jing rubbed his face embarrassedly and whispered: "No, you and Aunt Jiang won't hurt me. Every time I draw blood, I get a bunch of delicious food. I even gained two pounds in the past few years!"

"Still a little thin."

As he said this, he shook a half-human-sized... kitten?

There was a moment of silence, and the two smiled at each other. There was a knock on the wooden door behind them, and the inspection outside was over.

He Jing was a little nervous and met the notary's smiling eyes. This expression should be okay, right?

Then he looked at Aunt Jiang in the crowd. The other party had gentle eyebrows and smiled faintly.

"All the test reports are now in. Under everyone's witness and testing, they've been confirmed to be consistent with the data provided by Director Jiang Wenqing, and the conclusions are correct. If you have any objections, please raise them now."

No one spoke. The notary took out a few documents and said, "Since there are no objections, please sign here."

A group of people signed one after another, and the notary sealed the documents and turned off the camera.

"General Gu, Miss He, sorry to bother you. If nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

He Jing watched the two men shake hands, thought for a moment, and offered his front paw, "Thank you for your hard work."

The notary's expression, which had been serious all afternoon, instantly melted. Like the aunt next door, he pinched her large paw and rubbed it. "It's not hard at all. It's what I should do. The application for the 'Federal Medal' submitted by General Gu and Director Jiang will probably be approved soon."

"What medal?"

"Without you, the development of stabilizers wouldn't be what it is today. You've made such a great contribution to the Federation. This is just a medal. You deserve it."

What a "just a medal", that's the highest honor in the Federation!

These people work their whole lives but can't even get a nomination...

In General Gu's mouth, it became "that's all"...

The group of people vomited blood in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything. They smiled and said goodbye, "Then we will leave first and won't disturb you two anymore."

"Uncle Xu, please show the guest away."

"Okay, young master." Xu Bo, who was guarding on the side, stepped forward with a smile and sent the person out.

Jiang Wenqing pulled out a small ball of yarn from somewhere, flipped her wrist, and tossed it over. "It's for sharpening claws. Look at the sofa legs. They can't stand a few scratches from you~"

Discovered!

He Jing scratched the ball of yarn awkwardly, "Um... I did gently..."

"It's okay. It's a cat's nature to sharpen its claws. Once this period is over, I can just replace them with new ones."

Jiang Wenqing smiled and shook her head. "Tsk, why didn't I realize you had the potential to be a tyrant before? Okay, I'll be leaving now. Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't do anything weird again."

Gu Zheng nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work Aunt Jiang."

After everyone had moved out, Uncle Xu began to clean diligently, sweeping the living room with a handful of mugwort he had picked from somewhere, "Get rid of the bad luck!"

He Jing: "...Uncle Xu also knows this?"

Gu Zheng's eyes flashed with doubt, "Huh? You know?"

"Well, that's what the ancient Chinese nation said."

Gu Zheng nodded and explained, "It might be in the implanted housekeeper manual."

"Oh~ Uncle Xu knows?"

"Uncle Xu would browse the news and gossip every day. Today's notarization inspection was also reported."

Xu Bo, standing by, took over the conversation, angrily saying, "Miss, you've contributed so much to the Federation and to the stabilizer experiments over the years. Now you're the lead researcher on the latest stabilizer, and yet they're still saying this and that. They have absolutely no gratitude at all!"

"The Federation should compensate us. Five million star coins for every milliliter of blood! No... ten million star coins!"

Then Xu Bo wiped away his electronic tears and sobbed, "Wuwuwu... Xu Bo didn't know anything, otherwise I would definitely give Miss a good restorative treatment. With so much blood, how long will it take to heal it back?"

"...Only 5ml at a time, once every three to six months. Uncle Xu, it's really not that exaggerated..."

"Yes! Can I hug you, miss? I feel so bad... wuwuwu..."

He Jing helplessly jumped off the chair, ran to Uncle Xu's side in two steps, raised her little hand, "It's okay, Uncle Xu, I didn't feel anything~ And every time I come here, I can eat the thousand-layer cake and spicy spare ribs you make, it's really super happy~"

It’s true. The troubles and constraints over the years have never been about drawing blood, but the reasons for drawing blood.

This is the possible consequence of this special situation.

But from now on, this special thing will no longer exist.

Sometimes, being ordinary is also a kind of luck.

Now Gu Zheng and Aunt Jiang have helped her regain this luck.

On the day when the "Federal Medal" was approved, news outside began to report it everywhere.

After many years, Hejing's name once again topped the Star Network.

However, this time it was not about Gu Zheng’s gossip, but about his identity as a winner of the "Federal Medal" and a major researcher of stabilizers.

The specific situation was not detailed, and the Star Network was in chaos.

The protagonist who caused the uproar was lying in the garden happily watching TV series.

His body has fully recovered and He Jing has returned to human form.

The messages in her smart brain were overwhelming, so she picked out a few to reply to and then simply threw them aside and ignored them.

I feel so relieved when I have nothing to do, so relieved that I don't even want to go to work...

"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng walked over, sat next to her, picked up a piece of pineapple and handed it to her mouth.

He Jing opened his mouth and bit it, mumbling: "Well, I have to go back to the research institute to work tomorrow..."

"Don't want to go?"

“Who wants to go to work…?”

Gu Zheng chuckled, thinking, you weren't like this before, forgetting to eat and sleep once you entered the lab, "Then I'll give you two more days off."

Sure enough, the next second, Kitty waved his hand and refused, "No, no, I've seen the progress of the recent experiments, and it's faster than everyone expected. If we keep going like this, we'll soon achieve phased results."

"Once the real stabilizer is manufactured, everyone will no longer be affected by mental agitation."

"Don't worry. The Zerg have suffered a heavy blow this time. It will take time for them to make a comeback. There's no need to be so nervous."

He Jing still shook his head, his expression serious and earnest. "No, that won't work. The sooner we figure it out, the sooner we can all get rid of our suffering, and we'll be safer."

"Also, even though the Styx base was destroyed, no one knows how many agitators they still have."
